Bright, Stylish, and Easy to Use – The Affordable
VPL-E Series of Data Projectors is an Excellent Choice
for Both Education and Business
Sony’s VPL-E Series data projectors are extremely affordable and ideal for a number of applications,
especially in education and business. These projectors are not only stylish, but they also provide a
high brightness of 2600 lumens (VPL-EX70) and 2000 lumens (VPL-EW5/EX7/ES7). Capable of
projecting high-quality images, the VPL-EX70 and VPL-EX7 offer native XGA resolution, while the
VPL-ES7 offers SVGA resolution. If widescreen projection is desired, the VPL-EW5 offers WXGA
resolution. These projectors come equipped with a short focal-length lens enabling large-screen
projection from a very short distance.
Because these projectors were designed primarily for education and business, they are very easy to
use and provide security features such as a password authentication system and a security bar. In
addition, they offer a variety of interfaces such as a monitor output, audio output, RS-232C for control
(VPL-EW5/EX7/EX70 only), and High-Definition Multimedia Interface™ (HDMI™) for digital video
projection (VPL-EW5 only). All of these features combine to make the VPL-E Series ideal for both
classrooms and conference rooms.
FEATURES
High Picture Quality and Bright Images
By combining a new generation of inorganic LCD panels that
utilize Sony’s BrightEra™ technology* with a 3LCD projection
system, the VPL-EW5 and VPL-EX70 offer high
picture quality and brightness.
The VPL-EW5, VPL-EX7, and VPL-ES7 offer native
WXGA (1280 x 768), XGA (1024 x 768),
and SVGA (800 x 600), respectively,
and a brightness of 2000 lumens.
And the VPL-EX70 offers native XGA
resolution and a higher brightness
of 2600 lumens.
*
BrightEra is a brand name for the category of
LCD panels that have pixels with large aperture
ratios and that adopt inorganic alignment layers.
3LCD Projection Offers Amazing Color
Performance
The VPL-E Series adopts the 3LCD projection system that uses
three LCD panels. This system allows the projector to present
bright and natural images. It provides high light transmission
and excellent color reproduction with high color light output

.
It also provides smooth gradients in dark areas, and even
helps prevent color breakup or the rainbow effect

.
+
Color light output is a metric that measures a projector’s
ability to deliver color. Developed by color scientists using
the same approach as light output (brightness)
measurement, color light output provides a simple,
accurate, and easy-to-understand way to evaluate a
projector’s color performance.
++
The rainbow effect may appear as blurring or the
separation of colors. It can only be seen in images
projected by 1-chip sequential color projection systems.
Short Projection Distance
The VPL-E Series projectors come equipped with a short focal-
length lens, which makes it possible to project images from a
short distance. For example, an 80-inch* image can be
projected from a distance of approximately 7.5 feet (2.3
meters) and 8.2 feet (2.5 meters) by the VPL-EX70/EX7/ES7
and VPL-EW5, respectively.

Off & Go
Once a presentation is complete, the VPL-E Series can be
moved to the next location immediately by simply turning the
projector off and unplugging the AC power cord. There is no
need to wait for the fan to turn off.
High Security
(Control Panel Key Lock, Password Authentication
System, Security Bar, and Kensington Lock)
Both a control panel key lock and a password authentication
system are available in the VPL-E Series to help prevent
unauthorized use of the projector. Also, a built-in security bar
or Kensington lock can be used to help prevent theft.
